    Not 100% but pretty close to it. They have a rubber gasket on the lid and a recess to the compartment with drainage holes. Inside storage bins also have drainage holes. My neighbor has a 2005 ST (1st generation) and he does not have storage like this. He might be selling his shortly when his...

    My 2009 STA has 3. One long one in front, two smaller ones in back behind wheel wells. One in front is hard to get to.

    Hello Skeletoes. From my research on the sport tracs the 2nd generation seemed to be a better choice. If towing, the 2009 Adrenalin AWD with the 4.6L engine is listed as being able to tow up to almost 7000 lbs. Mine tows our 3500 lb RV trailer with no problems. My neighbor has a 2005 ST with a...

    Grill bracket...what is this for?

    Thank you DILLARD000 for taking the time for photos and for the explanation. The photos really help and now it makes sense on how it goes together.

    Grill bracket...what is this for?

    DILLARD000, any chance you could send me a photo of the bracket/plug? I am having problems finding how plug and bracket should be set up into the grill.

    Parts Wanted rubber seal

    Glad this could help. I believe they have tried inner tubes and I was considering this. Not sure how long they last. However, the garage door seal is thicker than an inner tube and is almost identical to OEM part thickness. I flexed sealed sprayed my original piece after removal and after 5...

    Parts Wanted rubber seal

    I used "Goof Off" to remove any residue from my hands and rubber on truck hinge.

    Parts Wanted rubber seal

    I cut the spout on the flex seal tube for a very small bead and followed through with my finger to smooth it out. That flex seal paste is great.

    Parts Wanted rubber seal

    You ST owners are awesome with your ideas, thanks. I used flex seal caulk (painters tape close to rubber when caulking) and no leaks now using the garage door rubber. Thinking about using flex seal to make a rubber pad that is missing on front passenger section. Anyone try this? I also used...

    Grill bracket...what is this for?

    Well, knock knock my socks off! Today I found the plug for the block heater stuffed into the radiator section. Was going to try it, but with a 97F temp outside I now have to wait until December. The plug seems to snap into the bracket. There are two screw holes and the one large hole for the...

    Tailgate Ford emblem replaced

    I agee Todd. Headlights and fog lights were replaced last year. Driver door moulding (section of rubber missing) and third brake/cargo bed light replaced (due to water in the older one). But it was funny when the Costco gas attendant asked me recently if my truck was the new Maverick that Ford...

    Tailgate Ford emblem replaced

    Bought the 2009 STA truck over a year ago and was depressing to see how worn the Ford emblem on the tailgate looked. So I replaced it. Easy to do with dental floss and plastic putty knife. Emblem even went on straight (the 3 centering pins helps). Old one top photo.... new one bottom photo. I...

    Parts Wanted rubber seal

    Tonneau cover was off. Sorry Powly, can't leave golf clubs in just yet. We had 0.5 " of rain and there re a few spots where water dripped in. I will remove cover again and review options of loosening bolts up slightly (1 side at a time) and applying either thin layer of clear silicone caulk...

    Parts Wanted rubber seal

    About a three hour job for me. Only 16 torx screws of all the same size. Need a T30 screwdriver (i used a 6" T handle). First I loosened up the 16 bolts in first pic. Nuts are secure on backing bar and no wrench needed. I stood cover up and opened to about 90° in picture 2 with arrow. Try not...

    Parts Wanted rubber seal

    Finally warmed up a bit and I installed home made rubber seal for tonneau cover. Easy removal of old seal and using garage door seal seems to have come out ok. Before and after pics attached. I had to trim side ridges off the garage door seal, otherwise too thick. Ford put a lot of thought and...

    OEM sticker still on engine at 150k miles?

    Ah, shucks DILLARD000, I was going to ask what you use to polish it. I like to keep my stable rides looking like new.
